Don't forget the coffee in the dryer

Hurray! Spring Break is over! I'll just do a quick happy dance here, feel free to join in.

I did not, nor did Captain, take Spring Break off of work. Captain could not as his boss did, and I did not because, well...because I didn't remember it was Spring Break until the Sunday before....when the kids informed me that they shouldn't have to goto bed at the normal time because they didn't have to goto school the next day. How's that for a run-on sentence? I should fix it....naw....don't think I will.

I'm sitting here, drinking blah regular creamer coffee cause i ran outta the good stuff. It sucks. My jeans are also still half wet. In the seams and waist. I do have time to redry them...I should or I'll freeze...okay they're back in the dryer.

Also ticked this a.m. cause when I pulled one of my fav tops out of the dyer (I forgot to throw clothes in dryer last night), it's missing its zipper! It's one of those cropped (shorter) hoody, mirco fleece things. I like it alot for work. Still looks great under the awful vest I have to wear, and keeps me warm(ish) while at my register right in front of the doors.

It's also St. Paddy's Day. No, I'm not Irish...not even a bit (that I know of), but I love this "holiday" anyways. Not really into the parades or parties or anything like that, but I think that's why I like it. You can celebrate this day without doing much. Or you can go all out. I used to make sure I was wearing green...this year I'm getting pinched cause I'm wearing pink. I once had a pair of really cute Shamrock earrings...they're lost...either grew legs or got lost in a move...or one of my sisters "borrowed" them. I think the latter is the most probable.

Do I think we'll get crazy Irish revelers in the store today? Hmm...50/50 chance. I'll bet we get at least one person that is all decked out for the Greenest day of the year. Probably will be an older lady, buying organic soy milk, bananas (cause how can you not at 75 cents a pound), some various Easter swag and $80 worth of vitamins.

Now I've got totally dry pants, a touch of green (the logo on my eww vest), and still drinking yuck coffee. Yup, it'll be an alright day...I hope!

Ugh, Flies!

I have a rather serious issue. We have about a zillion flies in the house. They are begining to swarm.

Captain said it was because I was keeping the horses's grain in the family room/office/junk room. He moved the grain to the garage (where now the mice can get it), and we still have flies.

Why do we have flies? Because it's cold outside and warm in here. We open the windows in the family room to smoke when it's a nasty day (don't yell at me, door to the rest of the house is shut and children are not allowed in the room!). Flies come in those windows. And they come in the doors, because having 4 children and currently 3 adults living in the house...the doors open ALOT.

I don't blame the flies. I would search for some warm place too. But they must go! One decided to share my coffee with me this morning. And there's at least 4 very drunk flies around here somewhere. Left a bit of vodka & mt dew sitting out in a cup last night, hoping to KILL the darn things. When I got up, there were 4 in there, but oh so not dead....really slow though! *evil laugh*

I can't swat these darn things. They don't land. They just fly around and around in the middle of the room. Sometimes sending out scouts to the out-lieing areas to search for food, and the occasional cup of coffee or vodka.

And so, it's all-out war at my house! Coming soon to a corner near me...fly strips, fly bait, fly killer ala mode. If it claims to get rid of flies, I'm getting it! But I gotta get paid first....until then I'll cover my coffee cup and vodka (or whatever), and walk the edge of the room....not through the middle were the evil masses of flying demon-spawn have taken up residence. Yeah.

two more days, two more days, little flies...just wait.
